Family
Mom. Dad. Sister. Brother. Aunt. Uncle. Grandma. Grandpa. Cousin.
Family is just a word.
Blood or not, they are still just people.
Try this exercise: Replace the title with their name.
Using their name, describe the person. What do they value?
Using their name, describe how they interact with you. Do they respect your boundaries? Do they support your dreams?
There is no excuse for abuse. Too many beautiful people that I have known stay in unhealthy situations for years simply because of a title. They get disrespected and hurt. I patiently sit on the sidelines and watch them go on the emotional roller coaster.
Eventually they start becoming more independent. They take time away from the abuse then are shocked at how intense the abuse is when they get back.
You are not a 'bad' person for no longer associating with unhealthy people.
Try this exercise with everyone in your life. Those that respect you, support you, and embrace you- give a genuine Thank You to. Those that don't- distance yourself then cut all ties.
You are worth living a great healthy life!
